Assoeiated Banks’ Statement. . NEW YORK, March 28 —The statement of I\Qm of the clearing-house banks of this city for the week shows: Loans, $004,599,200; desreane $0. Nemo deposits, $604,260,000; de- Tease, $6,422, circulation, $42,900,800 crelle.

The specie decreased | | $13L.000, but the legal tenders were incressed 600, making the net gain in cash $1,- 1!14 900, instead of a loss of §1,000,600, as es- | | timated from the traceable movements of mon- | ey during the week. Deposits were decreased $6,422,400, making a | | reduction since February 21 of §08.950.800. The reserved requirements caused by the decreased deposits last week were lessened by $1,605.600, which sum, added to the net gain In cash as above, made an increase in the surplus reserve | f $3,100,500. This item, computed on the basis | | of all deposits, Is $6,280,900; calculated on the basis of deposits less $40,190.000 of public | funas, the surplus is $16.325,400. | The statement ‘appeared 16 have been made [ gn riaing averages for cash and theretore the | banks were probably in a better condition as regards reserve than was shown by the return. | This week the $§3,000,000 -yg‘ ropriation by | Congress for the rellef of the |||1PDln!! will be' placed to the credit of the Philippine Gov- ernment with its fiscal agents ln thu city, u.nd this will help to increase the Teserves the banks in which the money Wfll be fiwl- ited. One notable feature of the statement to which we have previously called attention is that the banks as a whole show an excess this againet that eight of the banis neving the largest capita) and_surpius .hlv'ttouloflbon ,000,000 of loans in excess of deposits, while five banks equally | atvone ab repurds capital apd gl ghave | about $25,000,000 in d:pollu in excess of loans. dltleult to say whether the owing an excess of loans | over deposits are lolmnl out of their circula- | tion which amounts to $25,600,000; their capi- | 000, as well as out of their deposits, all of which items are embraced in the seneral term of loanable funds. If the do o loan | f out of these designated items, and thereby | have an excess of loans over deposits, there is no reason why the disclosure of this fact should cause any unfavorable comment. That | these banks do Joan out of one or all of these {tems appears to be evident. All of these in- | stituttons usually maintain the proportion of reserve to deposits required by the na~ fionai banking law, and if they shall geoasion: ally fall below this percentage the may | be regarded as not of the least mwmnu. in- such as .!ho | deed, during llfl" ncy will mat other times when i is likely that o slight Bencie cail for admonition by the banking department. | 8o far as cuuwhw requirements are con- cerned, there is no rule of that ing that 25 per ceént of reserve shall be main- tained by all banks, though by the unwritten law of the Clearing-house such proportion of reserve is regarded as desirable.

CHICAGO, March 28.—There was a small trade in wheat, with operations confined large- 1y to local Interests and a nervous sentiment pervaded the pit. 'The opening was firm on good local buying, influenced by the higher ca- bles and the big export clearances of yester- day, May being unchanged to a shade higher at 725 @72%c to 72%c. The favorable weather was an early bearish factor and there was considerable sclling on that account, which carried May down to 73%c, byt covering by shorts and the strength of outside markets soon brought about a rally and the price ad- | vanced to 73@73%c. Offerings became more Uberal as the session advanced and with a lessened demand the market cased off. The close on May was near the bottom at 12%@ 72%ec, a loss of %ec. Corn ruled extremely dull throughout the session and the sentiment favored the bears. ~The close-was at the bottom prices, May being 3@ %c lower at 43%@4315c. + There was a fair trade in oats.
